£30 is a good price because they cost about £133 new, and that's the Czech price so maybe a little more in the UK.

 

I can see the 4-digit date code on the sidewall of the tyre which shows that it was manufactured in 2017. So it's 6 years old.

 

It's a 205/55R16 tyre fitted to a 6.5Jx16 ET46 5/112 57.1 steel rim, and would be ideal for use on an Octavia MK3 even as a regular tyre if the others fitted to the car were also 205/55R16. Even the ET46 offset is correct for the Octavia MK3, as it's actually an Octavia MK3 wheel that Skoda dealers have repurposed as a spare wheel for the Superb MK3.

 

The only Octavia MK3 models that it wouldn't fit are the VRS models that use the big front 340x30mm brake discs, as those need at least 17" rims to clear the front brake calipers.

 

The outside diameter of a 205/55R16 tyre is about 5% smaller than the standard Superb MK3 tyre sizes. I doubt that's a good idea on 4x4 models, because the 205/55R16 tyre would be rotating about 5% faster than the other wheels on the car. However, Skoda dealers do appear to have been selling this size as a spare for the Octavia MK3 and the Superb MK3.

 

It makes more sense to use this spare wheel on the Octavia MK3 rather than the Superb MK3.
